Steam the crab in a large pot with 2 inches of water for 7-9 minutes. Remove from the pot and allow to cool for a few minutes. Crack open all of the crab to remove the clumps of meat and set aside.

In a large saucepan, add olive oil and sauté the onion until slightly translucent. Then add in the garlic and chopped basil and cook for about a minute. Add the crushed tomato, paste, red pepper flakes, salt and cooked crab meat and cook for 15 minutes until all the ingredients are blended well together. Add the sauce to the linguini and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
